Ties of nature scenery are made carefully without Korean garden being space limited like garden of Japan, and taking style to conclude and say with “inner court” between the garden sky, and space is comprised as “open ground” between the outside sky supporting it.

The whole Korean garden is Korean Old architecture expert: It was built directly by the cause of the yasu*ko (Ann sunho) he supervision, hand of person concerned with construction in Korea.
